PREFACE. HE origin of this volume is as follows :-On his retirement from the Civil Service T of India in r86o, the late Edward Anderdon Reade, C.B., being then resident at Ipsden, devoted his leisure hours to local topography and family genealogy, eventually presenting the results of these researches in MS. to the Bodleian Library. Some years later General John Meredith Read, successively Consul General for U.S.A. at Paris, Consul for Germany, and Ambassador at the Court of Athens, instituted further and more extensive researches, which embraced the pedigrees alike of the line known as of Barton Court with their alliances, and of all other lines of the name however spelt. I had inserted in 1887 certain genealogical details, supplied by my father, the late Mr. Compton Reade of Orsett Hall, in a memoir of Charles Reade, D.C.L., and although as regards some particulars these proved to be erroneous, in others they threw light on the family story. The result was a prolonged correspondence with General Meredith Read, which terminated in 1893 by a handsome proposal on his part that I would join him in compiling a Record of the Redes. We set to work, and he placed his researches at my disposal. It was evident at a glance that he had expended a vast amount of money, labour, and time. The wills he had collected alone numbered several hundreds. He had ransacked the Kirtlington Muniments, a mine of information respecting the family in the 16th and 17th centuries. He had carefully analysed our own Ipsden Muniments. He had consulted the late Sir Bernard Burke and the Herald's College. There remained, with other details, the part we played in the Civil War; and by the advice of Professor S. R. Gardiner, my uncle Captain Allen F. Gardiner's nephew, Mr. Firth of Balliol was requested to search on our behalf the Civil War Tracts and other authorities of the period. In consequence we discovered the capture of Sir Thomas Reade, the three occasions on which he entertained King Charles and Queen Henrietta Maria at Barton Court, and the fact of this home of the family having witnessed the last farewell of the Royal husband and wife. We further learnt that Barton Court served as ambush for the Royal troops on the occasion of the last attempt to capture Abingdon in 1646, but we have failed to ascertain the date of its siege and demolition-albeit, it would seem almost certain that this followed immediately upon the abortive attack organised by Prince Rupert. Other details of interest were collected by our joint exertions from various sources, more particularly a number of Royal Descents, supplied mainly by my cousin H. F. J. Vaughan of Humphreston, Esq., to whom my cordial acknowledgments are here gratefully rendered. Unfortunately in the autumn of 1894, General J. Meredith Read's attention being diverted in another direction, the work was temporarily postponed. At the close of r 896, this great soldier and diplomatist passed away suddenly in the prime of life, to our deep sorrow, for he was one of the most amiable and magnanimous of men, and withal both a scholar and a genealogist. My feeling was that the labour already expended should not be wasted, and hence with the sanction of Mrs. Meredith Read I resumed the task which had been so unhappily interrupted, having been accorded the aid of Mr. T. Turner, the General's Secretary, who has been most obliging, and indeed indefatigable in searching the voluminous MSS. stored at Paris. Here however I was met by a crux in limine. So far as our collaboration had gone I had been able to master most details of the English 2 A RECORD OF THE REDES. branches, but of the American line, including the link between Sir Charles, son of Richard, the younger brother of Sir Thomas Reade, and Colonel John Read who emigrated to Maryland, I had only a skeleton outline. This, therefore, is all that I have been able to present in the following pages ; but I must add that the late estimable General went exhaustively into the whole subject with my uncle Charles, who was not only an author of eminence, but a barrister also of Lincoln's Inn, and on a memorable occasion won a case before the House of Lords. He was so thoroughly satisfied as to the tie which binds the American and English branches together as to have written in The Graphic a memorial notice at considerable length of General Meredith Read's father, Chief Justice Read, thereby both claiming and acknowledging a relationship, of which he felt justly proud, the more so perhaps because he was so warm an admirer of the American character-its generosity and its true manhood. To proceed-shortly after I commenced single handed, Leadam's Domesday of Inclosures was published, and I learnt to my surprise that the reiterated statement of the Redes having been settled at Beedon in 1438 was false. At once with the active co-operation of Herbert V. Reade, Esq., the present Squire of Ipsden, the MS. and published pedigrees were thoroughly overhauled, with the result that I am able to boast the elimination of various fictions, whereof some originated nearly two centuries ago ; and furthe~ that the volume represents a verified, if a curtailed, record. To the Barton line I have added a precis of the principal other lines bearing the name, however spelt, and Mr. R. Reade Macmullen has contributed by way of appendix a pedigree of the Reades of Rossenarra. I must express my further indebtedness to Dr. Marshall of Sarnesfield Park-Rouge Croix Herald; to Rev. W. D. Macray, Fellow of Magdalen and of the Bodleian and to Mr. Parker also of the Bodleian ; to R. Reed Lewis, Esq., of Bedford_; Thomas Reade, Esq., of Tettenhall ; T. Mellard Reade, Esq., of Blundellsands ; the late Dr. Hussey, of Oxford; T. L. Reed, Esq., of Crow Hall; Miss Reed, of Old Town, Otterburn ; H. L.

The present issue is devoted to the society's annual lecture which was delivered during the study weekend held at Kirkley Hall, Ponteland, in September 1984. Dr. Sheridan Gilley, Senior Lecturer in the Department of Theology at the University of Durham, has placed the society firmly in his debt both by his readiness to lecture at unavoidably short notice and by the theme of his paper. At first sight "Newman and Prophecy", whether Evangelical or Catho­ lic, is unlikely to be of immediate relevance to our concerns. The past year, however, has seen the hundred and fiftieth anniversary of Edward Irving's death, and Dr. Gilley's paper, by reminding us that prophecy was a major concern of mainstream Protestantism until well into the nineteenth century, provides a context for our understanding of what otherwise is an embarrass- . ingly eccentric (and therefore ignored) aspect of our past. Other aspects of this will be explored in the Journal's October issue by Professor Roger H.

    "ROME'S RECRUITS" a Hist of PROTESTANTS WHO HAVE BECOME CATHOLICS SINCE THE TRACTARIAN MOVEMENT. Re-printed, with numerous additions and corrections, from " J^HE ^HITEHALL j^EYIEW" Of September 28th, October 5th, 12th, and 19th, 1878. ->♦<- PUBLISHED AT THE OFFICE OF " THE WHITEHALL REVIEW." And Sold by James Parker & Co., 377, Strand, and at Oxford; and by Burns & Oates, Portman Street, W. 1878. PEEFACE. HE publication in four successive numbers of The Whitehall Review of the names of those Protestants who have become Catholics since the Tractarian move ment, led to the almost general suggestion that Rome's Recruits should be permanently embodied in a pamphlet. This has now been done. The lists which appeared in The Whitehall Review have been carefully revised, corrected, and considerably augmented ; and the result is the compilation of what must be regarded as the first List of Converts to Catholicism of a reliable nature. While the idea of issuing such a statement of" Perversions " or " Conversions " was received with unanimous favour — for the silly letter addressed to the Morning Post by Sir Edward Sullivan can only be regarded as the wild effusion of an ultra-Protestant gone very wrong — great curiosity has been manifested as to the sources from whence we derived our information. The modus operandi was very simple. Possessed of a considerable nucleus, our hands were strengthened immediately after the appearance of the first list by 071 XT PREFACE. the co-operation of nearly all the converts themselves, who hastened to beg the addition of their names to the muster-roll.

  • Lesson 43 Confronting Dispensational Straw Men, Part 2
    Lesson 43 Confronting Dispensational Straw Men, Part 2 Review • In the previous study we began looking at common charges made against dispensational theology by its opponents. – Dispensationalism was a new invention in the 1800s by John Nelson Darby and is therefore wrong because it is not Apostolic. “Dispensational as we know it today is of comparatively recent origin, having had its beginning in England in the last century among the Plymouth Brethren.” (J.E. Bear quoted by Mason, 21) • In doing so we saw that elements of dispensational thinking can be observed from very early in church history and throughout the Middle Ages. • In this study we want to continue surveying the history of dispensational thinking from the time of the Reformation until the time of Darby. In addition, we will look at an additional charge made against dispensationalism, the charge of divisiveness. Lastly, we will briefly consider the historical development of dispensationalism’s chief rival, Covenant Theology. Unsystematized Dispensationalism • Theodoret, Bishop of Cyrrhus (390?-457?) —is credited with having said, “God dispenseth all things suitably to the particular time, and measureth his institutions by the abilities and powers of men.” • Islam —possets a parallel to the idea of successive revelations by dispensations. “The idea in Islam is that there were 12,000 prophets (nabi), most of whom are unknown and unmentioned. The Koran mentions some score of them altogether; of these the following introduced new dispensations or revelations. – Adam—the Safi
